Cornerback J.T. Floyd, who Rodriguez said suffered a stinger, re-entered the game but was seen limping out of the Michigan locker room.

This and that
Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Robinson declined to speak with the media after Saturday’s game. Mark Huyge, the former starter at left tackle before being replaced by Taylor Lewan earlier this season, started at right tackle in place of Perry Dorrestein. Dorrestein missed the game with a sprained knee but said he’d be ready for Illinois. Rodriguez replaced kicker Seth Broekhuizen on kickoffs with freshman punter Will Hagerup. Broekhuizen made a field goal, though, his first since he had one against Michigan State.

DRobinson is the ONLY change this team has made since last season. Special teams, defense, and yes, even the offense are as bad as last year except for the explosiveness of one player: Robinson. There has been progress made NOWHERE ELSE, in fact we've even gotten worse in many areas of special teams and defense. It's one thing to lose games, it's completely another to show no improvement when "rebuilding" a program (that, imo, had no business being "rebuilt").

Mike Martin is dinged up so RR puts Will Campbell on offense? Regardless who switched over to replace Campbell on the "D" he should be spelling Martin through out the game.

so much for our vaunted offensive line...weak-ass scheme and poor Rich Rod recruit RBs...only carried by one incredible player in D Rob.

Defense, offense, special teams, coaching.....etc. This team just STINKS from top to bottom period. I've been watching Rich Frod team all year and the writings were on the wall. The team benefited earlier from a weaker teams with BAD DEFENSES (go back and see). The 5-0 start wasn't impressive considering the competition. Michigan could've easily been 3-2 or 2-3. Late drive against ND, Indiana,Umass. BGSU w/back up QB.....but when they faced the real music the dancing stopped. DR is an exciting player but won't last in his position. To much pounding and hits and no other PLAYMAKERS on the team. The players might be fast but lack strength and size. THIS IS THE BIG TEN AND NOT BIG EAST. DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. Did anyone watch Wisky against OSU? They frustrated an overrated TP all night. Rich Frod is overpaid,overrated,stubborn,hot headed coach. Here's a questions to the M fans, can you name ONE POSITIVE INSTANCE that happened to this football team since RR arrival at Michigan campus? ooops, sorry I forgot to blame LC for all the distractions,violations,attritions......that happened to the this once storied program since Rich Rod took over.

Those stats on offense really say a lot about this supposed potent offense. The offense boils down to one guy and that's the QB. Whether it's DRob or Tate, there is nothing else but those guys. The running game is a shambles, besides DRob, and the passing game is nothing but slants, unless Tate's in the game. I'll be interested to see what attendance looks like at the UofI game this Saturday. I think he's already gone, but if we see attendance dropping off, that's the death knell.

Fred's right. Robinson is the de-facto speed and change-of-pace running back. His use means the running backs will "struggle," as you put it. Robinson will be more effective paired with Hopkins pounding the ball inside. Even better if Hopkins and/or Smith can do a little reading themselves if Rodriguez implements a bit of pistol formation into the plan. And best, of course, if Robinson were a more accurate passer. But since he's so dinged up from all those pile-ups, his mechanics have been off since the Notre Dame game.
